Mitt Romney: Uniquely qualified?

He may be unique, but he's anything but qualified.

Is he qualified due to running an investment corporation that harvested companies?
Is Donald Trump qualified due to HIS business experience?

Is he qualified due to serving 4 years as governor which ended with a net unfavorable rating and retired because he had no hope of being reelected?
Is Beverly Perdue qualified due to HER 4 year governorship, of which she is not seeking reelection?

Is he qualified due to his role in organizing the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics?
Is Billy Payne qualified due to HIS role in organizing the 1996 Atlanta Olympics?

I'm not seeing it. He hasn't done a damn thing that proves he is qualified to be the President. Inexperience was such a big talking point in 2008 for Obama, who had successful experience in both federal and state government. Yet you never hear anyone talk about "inexperience" for the man who was governor of a state for 4 years and was so unpopular that he didn't even attempt to run for reelection. If he failed at leading Massachusetts, what would make anyone think he could be successful at leading an entire nation?
